7m Origami Monyument in Campbelltown

It is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of the Campbelltown Art Project.

I designed an origami monument for Koshigaya Park in Campbelltown this year.

Koshigaya City in Japan and Campbelltown in Sydney are sister cities and the cities are celebrating their 40th anniversary.

My monument will be about 7 meters high. wow!

Here is the miniature model I created for the presentation.

Origami for everyone

We simply get together and have fun with origami!

Both beginners and advanced workshops were full and many people were on the waiting list.

So I think all the people who came to our workshop last Sunday were lucky!
They could book the spot or they were on the waiting list but got contacted to join the workshop.

Happy workshop and lots of smiles.

Origami Hearts for Valentine’s Day

Celebrate the Valentine’s Day with Origami Hearts!

In 2024, this year I demonstrated the origami hearts at the very popular store, Cartier in Sydney.

There was a queue outside the store to get special gifts for their loved ones.
I was so happy to help celebrate the customers with my origami hearts.
